Biking Goal and Progress
2008 GOAL: 600 miles biking starting April 7th till end of the year’s biking season. Dependent when temperature drops below 60 degrees F. Distance and speeds are in miles and mph. Locations initially start from home - unless specified otherwise.
Instead of using a clad sheet of notebook paper to log my mileages and stuff - I made a printout worksheet for my biking progress. It looks neater. Assessing the numbers, I stand currently at 187.5 miles plus 143.3. That places me at 330.8 miles for the season right now. Weather permitting, I may actually extended beyond 700 miles; but I won't get my own hopes up. The initial 600 miles is still the mark. Once I reach that mark, I do intend to continue.
Sometimes on a ride, I bring my backpack along. Inside, a small book and/or a notebook are carried. Food (granola bars) and water too. Sometimes even a DS. Usually, I do not ride to a place and then go home. More often than not, I hang out at my destinations for a while - usually to rest or to enjoy the weather. Especially, the rides into downtown - I normally hang there, especially at Millenium Park, where I get to enjoy the Free Grant Park Symphony concerts. Makes it all the worth biking.
